To get a gorgeous pepper harvest, you need to not only take care of watering and fertilizing, but also find the right neighbor for it.
Pepper is not friendly with all crops. Some plants negatively affect its development, while others attract pollinators and protect against pests and diseases.
What can be planted next to peppers
Flowers and herbs are excellent neighbors for sweet and hot peppers. Many gardeners plant tomatoes next to this vegetable. This is also one of the best options.
However, when growing in a greenhouse, it is worth considering that tomatoes need more ventilation than peppers. Eggplants, onions, carrots, cucumbers are excellent neighbors for this vegetable.
Some crops can affect the taste and aroma of peppers. It is believed that the most delicious fruits grow in a bed that is located next to basil, dill or coriander.
In addition, basil has a smell that repels flies, mosquitoes, and thrips. Dill and coriander repel aphids and attract beneficial insects.
